Re: Minibot climb rate

I propose that from here on in we specify what we mean when we say "direct drive."

My team is in the same boat regarding technical ability to use the motor shaft. On the other hand, I cracked open the tetrix gear box last night. With some moderate machining capability, one could signicantly modify the ratio of the gearbox. I took a couple of photos that I will try to put up this evening (CST).

I would love to use the internal gearbox alone for several reasons. Not the least of which is that two of our wheels and a driven tetrix gear came loose on our first climb test.
